Calidris fasciculata 23 June Barrow, Alaska - they went into an upright posture with one wing up and then an alut posture [sketch of three birds in flight, showing progression from wings spread to upright] all this fairly close to the 9. The streaking along the flanks accentuates the white wing lining in a wing up. "The male" flew with a rapid, fairly deep wing beat, 2-3 feet off the ground, rose suddenly to about 20 feet, hovered 2±1 second and came down slowly its wings in a V glide position and landing slowly, twisting somewhat as it landed, calling a "po-oit" 8±2 Twin beginning with the hovering and continuing through the descent; it was alone and fed after it landed. The male was heard to call of 3-4 other occasions and another version of the call is: "2222t p-wee zit p-wee zit p-wee-zit", over the male bent one wing out at the end of this series. A different pair was seen, one chasing the other, with a direct wing beat, then going into a short V-glide, calling "p-wee 222t p-wee 222t p-wee zit", flapping a short twin, gliding and calling again and flapping, now getting too far away to see well. The birds were 4-6 feet up and the glide periods were longer than the call.
